I got a response yesterday from Jon from Jetpack to test a scheduled blog again as they had heard from GoDaddy that it might be working. It wasn’t. Here is another failed publicize link. It made it to my website but not the Jetpack publicize.

@thefinancialengineer I think you said you have GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress and Jetpack. Have you ever gotten a scheduled blog to work lately?
I think @mossifer has the right idea with the fact that there’s a function of Jetpack that’s not receiving communication. I just don’t know what the remedy is and what I meant Jeremy is that I have gone through dozens of emails with Jetpack support and sometimes I am told it’s Jetpack and sometimes I’m told it’s GoDaddy. But to me it doesn’t matter. I just know that people who have managed word press who don’t use Jetpack but have other subscription solutions aren’t having this issue. But I like Jetpack and hold out hope they will get to the bottom of this here soon and figure out what exactly is going on with their communication with GoDaddy.
Hi Andrew,
No, we are still having the same issues on our end with Jetpack and GoDaddy. Maybe 1 out of 10 of our scheduled posts actually hit their schedule (meaning Jennifer’s plugin doesn’t need to do anything), and in those cases, the subscription email does work. Otherwise, it doesn’t.
@thefinancialengineer I only schedule a post once a day and none have ever worked. But I do have jennifer’s plugin working which doesn’t change the actual Jetpack subscription issue. It only changes the fact that I can get my post out of the Missed Schedule status. So I just want to clarify with you that we are saying the same thing? When you have Jennifer’s plugin active and you trigger a missed schedule by visiting your site, that still doesn’t make the Jetpack publicize to social media and subscriptions work right? As it doesn’t fit me and the others who I have talked to who use Jetpack and GoDaddy. Let me know if that’s what you mean ok? I’m also guessing you must post multiple times a day to see the subscriptions work even 1 out of 10 times?
We post about two times a day.
There are two cases:
1. The scheduling works as expected and Jennifer’s plugin doesn’t need to do anything. The subscription emails work in this case. This is very rare.
2. The post misses its schedule and Jennifer’s plugin must do its job. The subscription emails do not work in this case. This is common.
So yes, we are saying the same thing.
@thefinancialengineer thank you for clarifying. As Jennifer’s plugin only helps to correct the caching issue with GoDaddy in regards to getting a Missed Schedule to trigger. And her plugin works great to get that to work, but unfortunately even with the blog getting out to my site, it still doesn’t work on the publicize to social media and subscribers. This I’m assuming that’s what you mean in point #2. Sadly, I have never seen any of my posts work for case #1 so I’m manually publishing everything right now as that’s the only way to guarantee my blog posts correctly. Do you not use the social media publicize part of Jetpack?
Yes, that is what we mean. And no, we don’t use Publicize for social media. Only the email subscription.
Jetpack seems to think it could relate to their IPs and that they may need to be whitelisted. I think that means setting them up on GoDaddy servers as always being trusted. Anyway, I’m sure if you used social media for your posts they wouldn’t work either as the Jetpack publicize feature affects subscriptions and social media. So are you just manually publishing then to make sure it goes through?
Yes, we have been doing it manually.
@mossifer Have you made any more progress on this scheduled blog issue? I attempted another schedule blog a day or so ago and it still failed. I’m hoping you have some leads. 🙂
